It seems to me that you made an experience in a specific case (you

could it be that you're generalizing from this a little too much?

Sorry I just saw I wrote nonsense: it should of course mean "as *long*
as all members of the group are fine with it".

Communication *inside* a democratic organisation is of course necessary
